OC Weekend: Sapphire Food Affair!

Sapphire Food Fare

Don’t miss the debut of the Sapphire Food Fare Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at St. Anne School in Laguna Niguel. Think of it as an expanded farmer’s market, with a collection of fine foods, plus farm-fresh produce and herbs, artisanal breads, cheeses and chocolates, organic grass-fed beef, fresh seafood, and local varietal honeys.

Participating chefs will demonstrate recipes and provide samplings, and nutritionists and health experts will share tips on how to eat better. Chef and owner Azmin Ghahreman of Sapphire Laguna dreamed up this concept that offers fresh local foods, as well as education.

Participating local farms, purveyors, and artisans include Got Thyme, Jaime Farms, Garcia Organic Farms, Wong Farms, Fat Uncle Farms, Weiser Family Farms, Hay Ground Organic Gardening; meat and seafood from Santa Monica Seafood, Newport Meat Company; specialty foods from Sapphire Pantry, Picket Lane Bakery, Chocolate Soldier; and fitness from TaeKwonDoJang.

Chef Azmin also launched Sapphire at School at St. Anne School two years ago. The program provides students with a fresh and healthy hand-crafted selection of breakfast, snack and lunches.

St. Anne School is located at 32451 Bear Brand Road in Laguna Niguel.
